EYEGLASS-MOUNTING.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, GUSTAV A. BADER, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Eyeglass- Mountings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to eyeglass mountings, and its object is to produce a simple construction in which coiled springs for controlling the nose-guard levers may be remo-vably attached to the pivots on which the levers rotate, without removing the pivots or the levers. V

In the drawings :Figure 1 is a plan view of a mounting embodying the invention; Fig. 2 is a side elevation; and Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the position of the spring when unfastened.

The invention is illustrated as embodied in amounting comprising a bridge 1, lensstraps 2 and lens-clips 3, and the nose guard lever, a is represented as pivotally supported by a screw-threaded bolt 5.

The spring by which the nose-guard le- 7 ver is controlled comprises a coiled portion ,6 mounted onthe bolt 5, and an end 6 extended backwardly to engage the noseguard lever 4. Its other end 6 is so formed that it will hook under the edge of the bridge, at the side of: the bolt and adjacent the lens-straps, out of the way of the noseguard lever, when the spring is put under tension by springing its other end 6 into engagement with the nose-guard or nosegua-rd'support a. When the end 6 of the spring is released, it takes the position shown in Fig. 3, and at the same time the hook formed on the end 6 moves back into Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 611,948.

the bridge at one side thereof and substanr tially in line with the pivotal axis of the nose-guard lever; a'spring for controlling said lever, the spring having a coiled portion of sufiicientdiameter to pass freely over the post, an end bent to extend toward andbeneath the lever, and a second end which projects, alongside the bridge, to the opposite side thereof and terminates in a book which engages said opposite side and normally retains the spring on the post.

2. An eyeglass-mounting having, in combination, a bridge, a noseguard lever pivoted beneath the bridge, post projecting from the upper surface of the brid 'e substantially in line with the pivotal axis of the nose-guard lever, and a spring for controlling said lever, the spring having a coiled portion of sutlicient diameter to pass freely over the post, an end bent downwardly and inwardly to engage the noseguard lever, and a second end which passes downwardly alongside the bridge and terminates in a hook engaging the bottom of the bridge so as to normally prevent upward movement of the spring on the post.
